Library opens new Martin Luther King Branch<https://www.columbuslibrary.org/press/library-opens-new-martin-luther-king-branch>, Oct 18, 2018.
"Columbus Metropolitan Library (CML) has cut the ribbon on its new Martin Luther King Branch. Martin Luther King III, the oldest son of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was on hand to provide a keynote address and help dedicate the new branch named for his father. CML's former Martin Luther King Branch, dedicated in 1969 by Martin Luther King Sr., was the first public library in the country named in honor of the late Civil Rights leader. The new Martin Luther King Branch is located at the corner of East Long Street and Taylor Avenue, just a few blocks west of the branch it replaced. At approximately 18,000 square feet, the new branch has more than doubled the size of the former Martin Luther Branch, which spanned nearly 9,000 square feet."
